Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Greenwich Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 2000 and the Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 1995.

The Greenwich Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 2000 are amended so as to increase the parking charges from 1 pence for every minute or part thereof (subject to a minimum charge of 20 pence) to 25 pence for every fifteen minutes or part thereof (regulation 2(2)).

The Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 1995 (as amended by the Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 1999), are amended so as to increase the parking charges from 25 pence to 30 pence for every fifteen minutes or part thereof on a Sunday or bank or public holiday, and from 5 pence for every 2 minutes or part thereof to 50 pence for every fifteen minutes or part thereof on a weekday (regulation 3(2)).

In addition, the excess charge in the case of both original sets of Regulations, in respect of vehicles parked in the Parks to which they apply for more than 4 continuous hours or vehicles which do not display a valid parking ticket where required to do so, is increased from £30 to £50 (regulations 2(3) and 3(3)).
